In a message shared on X, the embassy emphasized the importance of complying with visa regulations and urged students to "maintain your student status" to prevent complications.

The embassy reiterated, "If you drop out, skip classes, or leave your program of study without informing your school, your student visa may be revoked, and you may lose eligibility for future U.S. visas. Always adhere to the terms of your visa and maintain your student status to avoid any issues."
